Forwarded from 🇷🇺🇱🇻 Посольство России в Латвии
🇷🇺🇱🇻 Commentary of the Russian Embassy in Latvia:
"The Latvian law enforcement officers continue to ruthlessly eradicate the historical memory of their own population.
Apparently, inspired by the classic dystopian novels, where the principle of "control is freedom" is put at the forefront, local lawkeepers began to send out mass notifications on initiating administrative proceedings against Republic's residents, who "had the temerity" to post on social media publications on the occasion of the Victory Day or express their support to them.
In the interpretation of the Latvian "thought police", these acts fall under articles 13 and 131 of the Law on administrative offenses and serve as glorification of the "Soviet totalitarian regime" and "military aggression" (may be fined of up to 350 euros).
We would like to remind that dystopias have been written as a don't-do-that-warning to future generations and not as a guide to action!
The question involuntarily arises: what other surprises may await the "recalcitrant" descendants, who honour the memory of their ancestors - a "Black Maria car" under the window?!
